Okay somebody tell me what i'm doing wrong before I have a tantrum. I used Hiro's Holo Vendor before for artwork - have success with some objects rezzing correctly - but some of my things are rezzing all upside down and sideways and i cannot for the life of me figure out why...I know i must be doing something wrong - read the instructions over and over again now my eyes are blurry and i think my head is going to fall off. Help please!!

Easiest solution: Encapsulate the "hologram" in an invisible prim that's not rotated at all. This makes knowing where the object's center is and makes sure it rezzes right-side-up.

Were the objects rotated when you took them?

I rezzed everything where i wanted and took em - naming them appropriately and all that - vendor works beautifully but they just aren't rezzing the way i set them....i will try the encapsulating idea! Thank you guys very much

Encapsulating workaround
07-17-2005 10:53
The reason that encapsulating the object is a reasonable solution is that your object probably has some rotation on it already, and when an object is rezzed, using llRezObject, it is typically given a rotation of <0, 0, 0> regardless of what rotation the object would have if you drag it out yourself.
There are two problems with fixing this the proper way, which would be to have the object be rotated using its built-in rotation. One problem is that there is no way to find out what that built-in rotation is from outside the object (as far as I know). The object has to look up its own rotation and tell it to the script that is doing the rezzing, or it has to rotate itself after it has been rezzed. The second problem is more serious. The way rotation is done by a script when the object is composed of linked prims is different from the way the manual rotation tool works. The script can only rotate a single prim. To rotate all the linked prims, the script must iterate through all of them, rotating each one and translating them into the correct (rotated) position relative to the center of the linked object. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Or someone point to the linked-object rotater script if I am right. |
